Though Blu-ray is clearly the dominant force here, it usually takes a few years for the industry to come to it’s senses and decide an official victor; however, in this case it could possibly be dragged on just a bit more. HD-DVD continues to hold a few studios to support the format exclusively, but until then, it really looks like Blu-ray will become the new standard.
